A bit late, but this matters 👇

First, a key correction:

That instant red candle wasn’t institutions. Big money doesn’t react in seconds.

The first drop was mostly retail + algos reacting to the headline.

The real story is deeper.

For years, Japan’s near-zero rates made the Japanese Yen a funding currency.

Institutions borrowed cheap Yen ➝ converted to USD ➝ invested in higher-yield assets

(stocks, bonds, and yes
 Bitcoin).

This is called the Yen Carry Trade.

Now the shift:

đŸ‡ŻđŸ‡” Japan is hiking rates

đŸ‡ș🇾 The US is cutting rates

That’s a double squeeze: ‱ Borrowing in Yen becomes expensive

‱ Returns in USD start shrinking

‱ Carry trades lose their appeal

⚠ This pressure doesn’t hit instantly.

It builds up and shows later — that’s when institutions adjust positions.

Looking ahead 👀

A few more Japan hikes + Fed cuts could change global flows in a big way.

2026 may reveal the real impact.

Markets don’t just move on news — they move on liquidity shifts. 📉📊
